Mushroom and Fontina Quesadilla

Mushroom and Fontina Quesadilla

Fontina’s natural nuttiness makes its a natural pairing with earthy mushrooms and spicy salami in this twist on the typical quesadilla.  Martha Stewart 

  • 1 oz spicy salami (about 5 slices)
  • 1 1/4 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup arugula, trimmed and washed
  • 1/2 pound assorted mushrooms, such as shiitake and cremini, stems trimmed, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup grated Fontina cheese (1 1/2 ounces)
  • 1/2 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 flour tortilla (8 inch)
  • Coarse salt and ground pepper
  1. On a work surface, layer salami on half the tortilla. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon oil over medium-high. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Place mushrooms and cheese on top of salami; fold tortilla over filling. Place quesadilla in skillet and cook over medium until tortilla is golden brown and cheese is melted, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer quesadilla to a cutting board and cut into 3 wedges.
  3. In a small bowl, toss arugula with lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon oil. Season with salt and pepper and serve alongside quesadilla.
